Insect Macro Fun!

June 22nd, 2010
 

Here are a few photos of some insects I took with my new Tamron 70-300mm f/4 Macro Lens. So far I am really liking this lens. It could be faster, like f/2.8 would be great, but was definitely within my budget too. Just to warn you, these images will get really up close and personal with some pretty nasty bugs. And if you don’t like spiders, don’t go all the way to the end!
And on to the photos. (and just to say, some of these are available for prints, if you were really into bugs!)

*Disclaimer – clicking the amazon link and a purchase will give me a kickback, but hey, it helps me keep going with this blog, and besides, I will always be fair and say whether something is good or not.

    I can stomache most bugs but I scrolled to the bottom and was grossed out. I hate spiders! Very cool though.

    ha, that was why I put the warning in there. I know plenty of people are scared of spiders, particularly my mom!
